The Rushes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEAE FGHG GIHI| The rushes nod by the river | A |
| As the winds on the loud waves go | B |
| And the things they nod of are many | C |
| For it's many the secret they know | B |
| - | |
| And I think they are wise as the fairies | D |
| Who lived ere the hills were high | E |
| They nod so grave by the river | A |
| To everyone passing by | E |
| - | |
| If they would tell me their secrets | F |
| I would go by a hidden way | G |
| To the rath when the moon retiring | H |
| Dips dim horns into the gray | G |
| - | |
| - | |
| And a fairy girl out of Leinster | G |
| In a long dance I should meet | I |
| My heart to her heart beating | H |
| My feet in rhyme with her feet | I |
